At work, I have to use a PC running Microsoft apps. So to see my calendar, I have to open Outlook and that has a risk of me getting distracted by my email inbox. I came up with a solution that lets me see just my calendar without being distracted by my inbox. www.keithbradnam.com/blog/2026/6/...

Stop opening Outlook just to check your calendar — Keith Bradnam

Away from work, I am a Mac and iPad user. If I want to check my calendar, I open a calendar app. If I want to check my email, I open an email app. At work though, I’m locked into the standard PC-base...

My latest blog post focuses on deciphering website analytics and looks at why I find it increasingly challenging to make sense of website analytics data because of ‘dark social’ traffic and AI: www.keithbradnam.com/blog/2026/1/... #analytics #WebsiteAnalytics #DarkSocial #AI #GoogleAnalytics

Why ‘dark social’ and AI traffic makes it harder than ever to make sense of website analytics — Keith Bradnam

An increasing challenge for those of us working in the world of website analytics is the impact on traffic from Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini. The traffic – or as I wil...

Did you know that today is #TakeAWalkOutdoorsDay? 🚶 Taking walks, especially outside in green spaces, is a great form of ‘social prescribing’. This is an approach that connects individuals with non-medical services, activities, and groups within their community to improve health and #MentalHealth.

I would love for Apple to announce the (presumed) folding iPhone as the ‘iPad nano’. “And one more thing…iPad nano can actually fold in two to reveal a stunning iPhone on the outside of the case.” #iPadNano

I’ve been doing #DigitalCommunications as a full-time job for a decade and doing it as part of my previous career as a scientist for much longer. There’s a recurring challenge that I have noticed regarding the people who request ‘content’ to be put out on digital channels.

Today I've passed the milestone of *one million steps* walked on my walking pad since I purchased it in late October!🚶‍♂️ That's an average of 6,339 steps a day over this period and a total distance of about 400 miles walked...all while working. h/t to @hailley.co who inspired me to buy it.

London’s skyline changes so fast. For the last five years, the lop-sided ‘1 Blackfriars’ has dominated the views around the Blackfriars Bridge. Now, the 50 storey ‘Opus’ — part of the Bankside Yards development — is starting to obscure views of 1 Blackfriars from the east. #London #Architecture

I'm pleased to announce that I have helped finish this piece of website work for my employer that has added QR codes to almost 100 #MentalHealth information pages.

My 11-year old son has been doing so much amazing #art lately. I’ve encouraged him to make a 'roundup' video that showcases some of his recent output as there are just so many cool things he does now (including model making and animations). youtu.be/do8UHhLqSC0

Lovely view of Tower Bridge this morning with the sun rising up creating a beautiful orange glow. #sunrise #London

This is St Helen’s Tower in the City of London. Completed in 1969 with 23 floors, it looks set to be demolished this year to make way for 1 Undershaft…a skyscraper that will be the same height as the Shard and will have 73 floors. #architecture

I think I may have listened to just a little too much politics news this year! 😀 This was partly due to their being elections in both the UK and the USA. I will definitely try to step back from listening to so much politics in 2025 as I don’t think it is generally healthy for me. #YearInReview

My boys have somehow amassed *4* different advent calendars each this year. I tried explaining to my six-year old that, when I was his age, advent calendars didn’t contain chocolates…they just contained a little picture. He looked at me quizzically and asked ‘Was that in the olden times?’. 🤣

Dipping my toes in the waters of bluesky. After a year of following way too much political news (UK and USA) across other channels, I need some respite. So here for books, astronomy, architecture, and content that will calm my soul.
